Property rights for everyone #bitcoin

I wrote a song about my depressed and hopeless early years in a cold dark country - Finland, never thought the light at the end of the darkness was #bitcoin

Thank you, appreciate this! Bitcoiners are lonely sometimes but hopefully we won’t be for much longer.

Hi Bitcoiners, I am a Senior Product Leader with 15 years experience delivering value to users through digital products. I am currently working for a business intelligence company in London, but the call to Bitcoin is strong and I’d love to have a quick chat with you if you are looking for Product Management skills in your Bitcoin company (no altcoins please). Please feel free to share this or reach out to me. Many thanks. #plebchain #jobs #bitcoin

ELI5: Bitcoin is the first effective alternative for people globally to not get their savings secretly stolen by governments through free money printing.

For thousands of years, proof of work was what “backed” the trade between people. You took a month of hard work to raise a flock of chicken, I took a month to mine and mint a silver block, let’s trade. Only in the recent 50 years, there appeared a new class of people who can print free monopoly paper to exchange for others’ blood sweat and tears.

The printing has been accelerating causing worsening inflation and suffering for the class who can only work for money but not print free money.

I used to believe in political incrementalism- the idea that you can change things gradually through better election outcomes.

But maybe it was also just youth, I don’t know.

After spending many years studying how the current monetary system works, studying how past debt and currency cycles ended, and based on practical realities from the past two election cycles, I dropped any notion of incrementalism, at least for the big economic things.

Incrementalism works for minority groups to gain social and political rights. Religious people to practice without interference, women to vote, gay people to marry, etc. Immigration policies. Things like that. But it doesn’t work for the financial system.

Instead, history and current affairs suggest that things generally point in the same structural financial direction, uncontested, until there is a massive fiscal crisis, geopolitical crisis, and trend change. And that is when politics becomes critical in all aspects- as chaos develops, the group that has enough power to set the next order *really* fucking matters. They either build a platform of virtue toward the next cycle, or they fall into the unfortunately common paths of communism or fascism.

And it is not just ideas that triumph, but technology too. Technology plays a big role in which ideas are even workable. Both ideas and technology are important.

So when I realized incrementalism wasn’t working, I sought out other methods.

The weaker method is just social- I try to put things out there with my platform to encourage reason, empathy, human rights, etc. Not partisan but also not necessarily moderate, but rather grounded in firm principles of virtue ethics.

The stronger method is to play some small part in building something better. Alternative money. Alternative communication methods. Either explaining and recommending them to people, or directly venture investing in companies that build on them and help improve the UX and solve new problems.

That’s my goal. I want to do whatever tiny part I can to bring about more peace, more fairness, more opportunity, more growth, and less destruction.

I feel this too, opt out of the legacy system one dollar at a time, then contribute to imagining and building a fairer, better, less centralised world where everyone globally has property rights.

In a world where most things seem to get worse and worse, the salary raise most people have every year often is not enough to combat inflation, most fiat currencies devalue 30% or more against the dollar in the last decade, #Bitcoin is hope.

your green corner is looking great 👍

Wallet of satoshi is good, get your lightning address that look like an email, add that to your damus profile, get free sats.

A tip for new plebs on #zapathon

1. Go to your profile / settings

2. Configure your zap to a default wallet and amount

I am zapping 5x faster than before. Let’s gooooo! #grownostr

It’s when people send some satoshi (sats) to each other. Satoshi is a small piece of a bitcoin. If you want to try, get an app called “wallet of satoshi”, post your address on your nostr profile to get free sats.

Hi #plebchain #zapathon

#zappathon

Repost if you have no minimum zap amount on your profile.

Two of the reasons I am giving to my partner for joining nostr is that there are quite a few social outcasts who believe in freedom on here, and because it’s so early and not yet full of bots, it’s possible to interact with people like you :)

It will be quite hard, because unlike gold, Bitcoin supply won’t double in the next 100 years. Also unlike gold, people can audit third party and self custody. You can’t easily audit gold by your self nor self custody a really large amount of gold.

Does this have to our last iphone? Is Apple taking Damus off the appstore? #bitcoin #plebchain
